Check the matplotlib if installed:-
We have to check the matplotlib if already installed on the system.
$python
>import matplotlib
If message is not seen then the matplotlib is installed on system and gets started.
After that, if you receive the error message then we have to read the section for help.
If the python version is already installed on your system then you can use system manager to install matplotlib in one line.
$sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib
If you use 2.7 then use,
$sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
If the new version is installed then install some libraries that matplotlib depend,
$sudo apt-get install python 3.5-dev python 3.5-tk tk-dev
$sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev g++
Also use pip to install matplotlib,
$pip install –user matplotlib
